+====== Mifun ======
+== This Chinese E-Moped Is Very Promising, Especially at $392, but Might Be Impossible To Buy ==
+Jul 2025, 16:54 UTC - Cristian Curmei
+Whenever a deal that sounds amazing pops up, I like to shed light on it, and this time around, that deal is an electric two-wheeler from China, one that's selling for as little as $392!
+The name Mifun may sound familiar if you follow our pages regularly. They're known for selling what I consider to be one of the cheapest electric motorcycles on the market, going for as low as $536 a piece if bought in bulk.
+This time around, it's their e-scooters' or e-mopeds' turn, and before us is a product that doesn't even have a name; just a product description: "High Power Fastest Electric Motorbike Motorcycle High Speed Electric Scooter 72v Electric Motorcycle Bike."
+As we dive deeper into this ride, let's begin with an exploration of its styling. I'd say this is the sort of Chinese "goodness" you'd see me ride through town. It's not the flashiest or most eye-catching design around, but the paneling does have a modern and sharp look, a bit reminiscent of some Yamaha or BMW models.

+== Onyx Motorbikes is back, one year after its owner died leaving the company in shambles ==
+Rebecca Bellan - 11:12 AM PST December 24, 2024
+A year after Onyx Motorbikes owner James Khatiblou died suddenly, leaving customers with unfulfilled orders and millions in unpaid debts, the brand has been revived by its original founder.
+“I’m excited to announce I have resurrected my original brand Onyx with incredible backers!” founder Tim Seward wrote in a LinkedIn post on Monday. “Onyx is literally back to the future now!”
+The company is selling only about 100 RCRs electric dirt bikes to start. It’s not clear if those are newly produced units, or if these are part of the batch of e-bikes made earlier this year by Onyx’s Chinese supplier that were being held in limbo after Khatiblou’s death.
+Seward did not respond in time to TechCrunch to provide information on the company’s resurrection and which investors he secured to back the company.
+Seward, who has designed e-bikes for Bird and Ubco, built what would be the first Onyx e-bike, the RCR, in 2016. After launching the company with an Indiegogo campaign two years later, that design became a hit among a cult following of customers who loved the made-in-the-USA feel, the 1980s appeal of the design complete with a wooden body, and the powerful capabilities of the bike.

+== This EV Moped Can Hit 65 Miles Per Hour, But Still Gets Pedals ==
+It also promises up to 130 miles of range in Eco mode.
+Enrico Punsalang - Jul 13, at 8:42am ET
+In the world of electric two-wheelers, a little-known company called Onyx Motors seems to have carved out a lane all its own. Born in Los Angeles, the company built its reputation by mixing old-school design with forward-thinking tech, long before retro-inspired EVs became trendy.
+The original Onyx RCR turned heads with its raw, stripped-down aesthetic and punchy electric drivetrain. It wasn’t pretending to be a motorcycle or a scooter; it was just doing its own thing, and doing it well. Now, Onyx is back with the RCR 80V, a serious upgrade that’s quicker, smarter, and even more confident in its identity.
+At the heart of the new RCR is an 80V, 45Ah battery paired with a motor capable of pushing up to 18kW at peak. It’s enough to hit 65 miles per hour, with 30 coming up in just 1.7 seconds. Those are solid numbers for something that still technically has pedals.

+====== TVS Motor ======
+== Cube-inspired e-scooter offers unique "range boost" feature ==
+Utkarsh Sood - January 20, 2025
+Electric motorcycles have gotten wild in recent times. We’ve seen some whacky concepts … from a transparent electric motorcycle that looks like a Nintendo console to a folding electric motorcycle. Now, the India-based TVS motor has whipped up a rather funky cube-inspired electric scooter concept.
+The Vision iQube concept was another highlight of the ongoing Bharat Mobility Expo in India. Let's start with its most obvious feature – its design. With its boxy form, unique apron, and sleek handlebar, the Vision iQube Concept is unlike any other e-moto I've seen in the past. Its headlight unit incorporates the iQube motif, which is even more noticeable when it glows - a nice touch indeed.
